Behavior Triggers Explained

Hotjar allows you to set a behavior for when a widget (Poll / Survey Invite / Recruiter) should trigger on the page. The following behaviors are available:

Immediately after the page loads.This option will make the widget appear as soon as the page has finished loading.

After a delay of X seconds: (where X is a number you set).This option will make the widget appear X seconds after the page has finished loading. If you set this to 5 seconds and your page takes 2 seconds to load, the widget will appear 7 seconds after the visitor has browsed to the page.

When user is about to abandon the page on a desktop device.This option will make the widget appear as soon as a visitor moves their mouse cursor upwards and towards their browser tool bar. The widget is shown the moment the cursor leaves the viewport - the visible area of the site within in the browser. This function does not work with mobile devices.

When user scrolls halfway down the page.This option will make the widget appear as soon as a visitor has scrolled down to at least half the full height of the page they are on.
